Drilling rigs were visible at the far western end of I-635 in 2007. This rig is at the southeast corner of I-635 and TX 121, with I-635 to the left of this image. These wells apparently found much less natural gas than the drilling firm was hoping for.

The western section of I-635, from TX 121 to I-35E, is the most recently built section (completed 1979-1981) and has the best design standards. The corridor is so wide that it is difficult to photograph. This view looks west from Olympus.
